Eileen's Scout
Knots Don't forget to check out my Braiding
Page for links to knots, hemp, friendship bracelets, macrame, thread, gymp,
etc. Includes some great animated and diagramed sites.
Eileen's SCOUT CRAFTS:
There are many scout crafts links in my general craft projects, Also check out my
parent/teacher resource page for great nature and other projects.
I have a new page for a great
Scout/Guide Craft or Activity. See my EILEEN'S TREASURE HUNTING CRAFTS PAGE. The purpose
of this page is
to link geocaching, letterboxing and crafts together. These activities are
perfect for Scouts/Guides that want to earn badges and develope skills
for: Crafts Using a compass.
nature walks.
Using a GPS. (Not sure if they have a badge on this but a great skill)Find
paths to clean up in nature and parks. Learn to read maps.
Carving skills. (Make
your own rubber stamp for letterboxing.)Journal keeping. And more. Caches and
letterboxes are hid in every state of America and all over the world. If there
is not one in the troops area then this would also make a great project to make
a cache or letterbox and research a safe and fun place (on public property) to
hide one.
Eileen's SCOUT CRAFT TIPS;
Eileen's Recycle Crafts:Recycling Baby food jars,
Sauce, Pickle or any glass with metal covered jars into craft projects are
great. Crystal candle wax or gel wax are fun. Sand art in glass jars, tooth
fairy jars are just a few ideas. see my Baby food jars. For more ideas and
directions. Plastic containers also make great recycling projects. I have
covered with Sculpey clay and baked in the oven, Dannon
Drinkable Yogurt Bottles.
Clip Art and Other Designs
Coloring Books and
Sheets
Clip Art and other designs can be printed out in Black and White and used for
coloring pages. Shrink Art Using Clip Art
Clip Art etc can be traced onto Shrink Art Plastic Sheets with permanent
markers. (Also called
Shrinky Dinks. See my supply pages for ordering information.) These sheets can
then be colored in with colored pencils or permanet markers. They make great
name tags, magnets, pins, hat swaps, jewelry, earrings or whatever! Boys and
Girls both like the fun of this craft. If you use a toaster oven or oven with
a window, the kids really like watching the shrinking process! Make sure to
mark their name somewhere on their project. If you are going to make it into a
hanging item, use a large paper hole punch BUT make sure to punch a few times to
make the hole bigger. (It really shrinks! Plus you can't punch through after it
is baked...too thick) If you forget to punch, take a metal awl and heat point
only on stove. You can then melt a hole. Scout Shape
Crafts Foam, Magnets, Paper are available in Scout Shapes
for many crafts. Also available are Scout shape plastic molds that you can use for Candy, Plaster, or
Paper Mache. Makingfriends.com-Scout Page. has links on
their scout page to their store. Plus ideas using these shapes.
Making Friends.Com has supplies for many bead and other craft. (No I don't get
any money if you go to her. I just like her stuff.) Moved

Arlene
Bernhardt who made this yarmulkah for her son. Thanks for letting me post the
chart. Of course these are available for personal use only.
The chart was used to plot when to
change yarn color when crocheting. I think it can also be used for cross
stitch, hand embroidery etc. Possibly you can use the chart with plastic
canvas to make bookmark etc. Also could be used for charting a BEADIE
PATTERN or BEADED SWAP PIN too!
Have a pattern or craft to share? I am always looking for new patterns and
crafts to post on my site. Giving you credit of course.
